As much as I dislike the PnP it would seem to have been better to put Tomac in the primary screen and follow the smoking Ferrandis (a little bit) in the second. I was watching the Tomac - Roczen gap come down fast on the teleprompter and was waiting waiting waiting for the broadcast to notice.
Hopefully the tech will be good enough soon to pick which camera you want to view other than the broadcast.
Open up multiple windows on a PC and follow different riders.

Yeah weege. Thanks for posting with all us pee ons
Listening to racer x review show. Weege keeps saying they don’t have sector times. If I have sector times, they have sector times
The issue is with the producers. They are the ones in charge of switching cameras, who to follow, etc.
I have seen in other sports where at times, the on-air talent will ask to switch to a camera and follow something else.
Can't Weege say on air "Hey guys looks like Tomac is making up big time on Ken, can we switch to that battle"
I've heard plenty of other sport announcers ask the producers to focus somewhere else. Wonder if Weege or Grant has the gravitas and pull to make that request on-air like others do.
If they see something, ask that a camera be switched to it.
Catching up with a mechanical failure after its happened is simply the same as panning to a rider that has just crashed, there's really no harm in not seeing it happen as long as you know it happened. Replays can put the pieces back together if need be.
That said, I really like the commentary from Jason and Grant and I think a great job is done by the camera crew to show so much of these outdoor tracks from a limited amount of cameras. Its alot of ground to cover and I don't really get the sense that I'm missing any large portions of any particular section. It's a difficult sport to cover with a limited budget no doubt.
Pit Row
I would love to see some footage from the production truck to know who is making what decisions, and how the whole broadcast is put together.
That said, i completely agree the producers are awful/asleep at the wheel 98% of the time. I'd prefer a random camera changes over whomever is calling the shots for MX coverage.
Instead in the nationals the experts are led by morons and told to cater to people who don’t know what tear offs are or where the brake lever is. And we follow riders around by themselves all race, or watch people rolling on slow laps during qualifying because they have a puff piece prepped that they want to talk about and they need the camera on that rider so it’s relevant. Instead of following the fast riders and forgetting their dumb ass fluff pieces.
To the producers of the nationals the fluff pieces and drama is more important than the racing. Simple as that.
